Has anyone seen or heard of the rusted hood trend? Im well aware it's an older VW thing but I've seen pics of rusted hoods on VW's, BMW's and Hondas/Acuras. Post your input/pics about this trend...

I'll start:

all rusted out > rusted hood only :driving:

In my opinion it doesn't look bad. I wouldn't do it, just think it's funny but to each it's own.

...people want their cars to look like that?
:banghead: why? why? why??? lol

 

[Klrversa]

Yikes...that is a highly misunderstood car style blunder...

 

[Mogh]

I always thought they were hoods rescued from cars that had caught fire?:confused5:

 

[iluvmyVersa08]

Yuck ...
When our cars get rusty here we try to fix them up, not add more rust.

 

[Mogh]

LMAO, the trailer has rims too.

Edit: Just saw the vice grips on the bumper. Epic.

 

[Hschlick84]

That's tight, a trailer with rims! Hahaha, can't get better than that!

Funny... My 96 civ needed a new hood... I got one made in china... It had black paint (or so I thought)... 6 weeks of outside temperature and my hood looked exactly as those posted above

This was 5yrs ago.. And can't believe this is now a trend... Hopefully just a fad

ugh guys yer slightly wrong about this lol its all started with rat rods... look at half of them and you will see that they dont sand and prime and paint them to keep them up they do it the old style this has been around alot longer its just like shallots started with old school rods but how many people even know what shallots are? for all the females here, shallots are more or less what 90% of chicks get on their rear ends nowadays lmao.

Im not a fan of the rusted look, it's ugly and doesn't make sense to me. If I want a rusted vehicle, I will get a beat up vehicle and let it rust to hell instead of an 'artificial' rust one. :2cents:

 

[Mogh]

Iuno, it's kinda growing on me.:ashamed:

 

[APLPIX]

Well you wouldn't have to worry about washing, waxing, polishing it. No one would steal it. Dents and dings won't be a problem. Rat rods FTW.

 

[superskunk]

sorry to say, but my hood will never rust... thank god for carbon fiber! oh my hatch too... lol

 

[#1Tango]

i guess im the only one that thinks its kinda cool/different

 

[JoshG]

I wouldn't do it but it looks pretty cool.

Can anyone photoshop a rusted hood on a Versa?

 

[Hschlick84]

I could do that for you sir, just give me some time and it will be done!

 

[JoshG]

Thank you sir. :thumb2:

 

[iluvmyVersa08]

If you guys want rust, we can send some over. Chuckie has some he can spare, and we just shaved all the rust off the Mazda on Sunday. I'd be glad to share

 

[JoshG]

^^^ Im fine. What year is the Mazda though?

One more Civic

 

[blindsnyper]

but how many people even know what shallots are?
